G4TV has put together a list of five historic settings that they’d love to see for the next Assassin’s Creed game. They limited themselves to the past for this list, so they might be back soon with their picks for modern day cities too.
"Hello everyone, we have more details to share concerning the upcoming decommissioning of online services affecting several AC titles, including additional information regarding the DLC for these titles."
When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.
The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.
Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.
Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."
The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.
Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
Fans of Assassin’s Creed will want to check out a new Build Your Own Bundle featuring ten different games from Ubisoft’s popular action-adventure franchise.
You know a game comes out too often when we’re getting BYOB (Build-your-own-bundle) deals! And this cheap? Good deal for parkour lovers! Haha!!
What Ill be doing for valhalla, wait for a sale. Ac and far cry games go really cheap pretty quick. Picked up fc5 for $5 and Odyssey for $10.
Or just wait til Ubisoft gives em out for free lol. they've practically given out all the AC games for free, as well as both Watch Dog games, and Rayman. Ubisoft is weird
Late 19th century, harbour city, lots of foreigners coming in and out of town, pirates, the english, lots of islands, gorgeous nature, lots of clans, lots of triads, opium, lots of different weapons and fighting styles, big diverse areas, etc etc etc.
Could be perfect, if done right.
I wonder if they will be spreading towards more of Europe as a whole. But again, that probably needs at least 2 years dev time for something that ambitious.
Like with the first two I think they should go forward in history. First it was medieval Europe and them the Renaissance. I think it's only natural and very fitting that they go to like 19th century London, French revolution, or maybe napoleon or as late as world war 1. Nothing too modern though.
im thinking french revolution
I would like to see someplace in the 1600's, perhaps London. A lot of historical figures are in the relatively early 1600's including Shakespeare, Galileo, and Guy Fawkes with the Gunpowder Treason of November 1605 "Remember, Remember, the 5th of November.." That's kind of why I'm pointing to maybe London in the 1600's. It's just a nice time period. With A LOT of potential.
